Chapter 17: Change of Name
Shang Wan:!!!
The monk saw that she was traveling through time!
Requiem doesn’t sound like a good name. Does this monk still want to take her in?
Shang Wan's face suddenly darkened, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and murderous aura surged from his body.
“Ahhh…”
Liaokong's jade-colored cassock was disheveled, and Shang Wan tied his arms behind his back and pressed him on the stone table. The monk's aura was instantly shattered.
Shang Wan asked coldly, "Tell me, what's the use of Requiem?"
"Soul-calming, ahhh..." His arm ached so much that it felt like it was about to break, so Lekong immediately changed his words, "Calming the mind and strengthening the soul."
Shang Wan's hands remained strong, his eyes narrowed, "Why not call it the Calming Song?"
Liaokong: "Soul-calming is more domineering."
Is this something a high-level monk would say?
Shang Wan's mouth twitched slightly, and he let go of his hand and helped the man up.
Lekong turned his shoulders and then skillfully adjusted his cassock. With a small expression and his handsome face, he instantly exuded the aura of a great monk.
Shang Wan: “…”
Is Lu Chengjing afraid that he has been deceived by this guy?
"What are you looking at?" Liao Kong simply stopped pretending and put his right hand behind his back. "Monks don't tell lies. I never cheat or deceive people."
Shang Wan's fists itched. He resisted the urge to beat this guy up. He simply told him about Tian Sheng's poisoning and looked at Kong. "How are you going to help?"
Lekong took out the letter he had prepared long ago and handed it to Shang Wan. "Give this letter to Donor An for review. He will immediately come with you to Dongning County to review Donor Lu's case."
That’s it?
Shang Wan thought that Wei Kong could rescue Lu Chengjing directly, but it turns out that he still has to rely on Lord An.
She took the letter with a bit of disdain, and felt more and more that Lu Chengjing was deceived by the appearance of the high monk that Luo Kong pretended to be.
"What did you write in the letter? What if it doesn't work?"
Liaokong did not answer and sat down at the stone table again: "Donor, please leave now. I won't see you off."
Shang Wan rolled up his sleeves, and Lekong's eye twitched, "Donor, I have something to say to you."
Shang Wan looked at him and heard Kong say, "Drink more chrysanthemum tea to relieve dryness."
After saying that, he jumped off the cliff, his jade-colored robes fluttering up and down like a cloud.
"Someone come, my uncle-master has jumped off the cliff again!"
Shang Wan: “…”
She put away the envelope and jumped down the mountain like a kite.
In Yushu Village, after breakfast, the Zhang family's father and son drove over in an ox cart loaded with new tiles.
Old man Zhang continued to mend the wall today, while Zhang Da and Zhang Er climbed up the ladder to the roof, and Shi Tou stood below to help pass tiles.
Xiaohuan boiled the water on the stove and came out to look after Yuanyuan.
The little guy started looking for his mother as soon as he got up today. When he didn't see Shang Wan, he sat on the cushion dejectedly, staring at the yard gate, and didn't even play with the little turtle.
Xiaohuan felt distressed when she saw this and tried to coax her to play, but Yuanyuan didn't even smile. Her little mouth was flat and she didn't say a word.
The gray wolf lay lazily beside her, its green eyes half-closed, and its tail swept from time to time.
Yesterday, it scared the Zhang family, father and son. They were relieved only after confirming again and again that it would not bite anyone, but they still avoided it when working.
The gray wolf suddenly stood up, looked at the gate of the yard, and let out a low whine.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she used all four limbs to crawl out. Unexpectedly, she was blocked by the gray wolf. She was so anxious that she kept pushing it out with her little hands, "Let me go!"
She wants her mother!
Shang Wan walked into the yard carrying a cloth bag of rice and two pheasants and a grass carp taken out from the space. Zhang's father and son all looked over. Zhang Er was stunned. Where did this fairy come from?
Shang Wan nodded politely to the three of them. After putting the things in the kitchen, she came out, picked up Yuanyuan who had been looking at her for a long time, and leaned over to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Mom." Yuanyuan quickly hugged her and kissed her, then rubbed Shang Wan's neck lovingly, her little voice soft and tender, "Yuanyuan, I want to cool down."
"Young Madam." Shitou led the Zhang family, father and son, over and introduced them one by one. "This is Uncle Zhang, and these are Brothers Zhang Da and Zhang Er."
When Old Man Zhang heard the name Shi Tou, he felt a little confused.
This young lady's appearance and demeanor are no worse than those of the wives of wealthy families in the capital city. Why did she suddenly move to their small Yushu Village?
He thought secretly, then followed Shitou in calling out "Young Madam". Zhang Da and Zhang Er also hurriedly followed suit. Zhang Er was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat.
Shang Wan chuckled and said, "My maiden name is Shang. If Uncle Zhang and the two gentlemen don't mind, you can call me Madam Shang."
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. They didn't know how long they would stay in the village, and the title of "Young Madam" seemed too out of place in this village.
Zhang Er smiled innocently, "Madam Shang, we all live in the same village, we're all from the same village. If you encounter any difficulties, just give me a call."
Old man Zhang glared at his son and said, "Silly son, what are you thinking about? Don't you see that the other person is holding a fat baby in his arms?"
Shang Wan was a fool. He just thought this was a warm-hearted man. He smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few words with the three of them, the three of them continued to work.
Shitou didn't leave, and whispered to Shang Wan about Lu Chengjing's news.
Shang Wan didn't hide it. He raised his hand and asked Xiaohuan to go to the kitchen to talk.
She looked at the stone and said, "I also hunted a little wild boar. It's not convenient to carry it back. I'll let Xiao Hui take you there later. Just feed him a piece of meat."
"Okay." Shitou has already accepted the fact that Shang Wan's hunting skills are perfect.
Shang Wan picked out the important things about the poisoning and told them, "I have to go to the capital. You take care of the family. They will help us with the work and make sure the meals are prepared."
As she spoke, she took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Xiaohuan.
"Rice and meat should be enough. As for vegetables, you can buy them from the villagers or exchange them. Money should be spent when it is needed, and there is no need to save it. If it is gone, there is more to earn."
Xiao Huan took it, and Shi Tou was surprised and asked, "Young Madam, where did you get so much silver?"
"I sold a wild boar."
Building a house and buying materials require money. Shang Wan was worried that the original owner's ten taels were not enough, so he sold the big wild boar in the space and got fifteen taels of silver.
Xiaohuan was given ten taels, and she kept five taels for herself in case of emergency.
Shang Wan thought for a moment and reminded Shitou: "You should pay more attention to the Lin family. If anything happens and you need help, go find Luo Si and Liu Er and tell them I asked you to go. If they don't listen, just release Xiao Hui."
She bent down and waved to Little Gray, who was guarding the kitchen door. When the gray wolf came over, she patted its head and said, "Watch the house carefully. If anyone comes to cause trouble, feel free to bite them. If they kill me, it's my responsibility. If you can't beat them, you can ask your friends to come."
The gray wolf swung its tail behind it, as if it understood.
Shitou said solemnly: "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely protect the young lady and Xiaohuan."
"Let's change the name," Shang Wan said. "Yuanyuan and I were kicked out of the Lu family. We had no money and no status, but you were willing to follow us through hardships, taking care of the family and running around all day. I will always remember this friendship."
"From now on, you and Xiaohuan will call me sister. Yuanyuan is your niece. Once we bring Lu Chengjing back, we will live a good life as a family."
